I think personally that sexual assault is worse than plagiarism but you hounded a black man to death over it and know you're saying we should rehabilitate and forgive sexual assault, and like,

ICE just kidnapped a woman at LAX airport Saturday Oct 3, 12:50AM. A community member was able to record when several ICE goons who refused to identify themselves grabbed the woman, put her into a van and then drove off.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

The rush to accuse, without anything approaching due diligence, artists of using "AI," should be treated with contempt. An artist gets their work *ripped off* to train a plagiarism machine, which then shits out inferior versions of that work, so then you accuse the artist of using "AI"? Fuck you.

My Instagram feed is full of millennial and Gen Z men expressing this level of outrage at the Cornell rape case. NGL I’m finding it more than a little disturbing that the Gen X men on here seem to have not taken a single minute to express outrage in their own posts. This kind of shit is HEALING. ⬇️

How to avoid sexual assault! 
A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE*

*for perpetrators. 

1.
DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS 

2.
USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU. 

3. 
WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM. 

4.
WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE. 

5.
IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM. 

6. 
CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

The way the Cornell victim is being publicly disbelieved by a lot of journalists, officials, and online posters is also a warning shot to every other victim not to dare to actually pursue a case against your rapist lest you suffer the same fate. It’s a means of protecting the status quo

In the legal system and in these mainstream commentary spaces, victims’ post-assault behavior is positioned as evidence of them lying, so that any feminist response to the crisis of sexual assault brought on by these high-profile cases can be deemed hysterical and unnecessary.

Socially and in the legal system, our understanding of responses to sexual violence is purposefully uninformed and therefore limited to only “perfect” victims (who don’t really exist), so that we don’t have to actually combat sexual violence or believe victims or hold perpetrators accountable.

People are spinning the narrative that the Cornell victim consensually participated in group sex and changed her story later because she faced social ostracism. A lot of this is cherry-picking texts, but in reality a lot of victims initially claim they weren’t abused or raped as a coping mechanism

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

Internet sleuths deserve much credit for picking up the ball & finding information on the Cornell 7. They’ve found current employers, the legal name of one who supposedly fled back to South Korea to avoid scrutiny & uncovered that one’s mother is Michigan Director of Public Safety. Quite a story.
